Favoriten

Ruth Beckermann

Beckermann spent three years following a class of pupils from the ages of seven to ten, and their devoted teacher at a large, ‘at risk’ primary school in Vienna’s ethnically diverse, traditionally working-class district Favoriten. We get to know the children as they learn, grow and develop through the period leading up to their final year of primary school. Favoriten makes the children co-authors of the film, handing cameras to them and incorporating their footage. An ode to childhood and education that builds on Beckermann’s trademark style of asking important questions in an observational way.
